Time for some quotes

Some quotes to ponder (thanks to the Mastery Foundation).

"The soul of one who loves God always swims in joy, always keeps holiday, and is always in the mood for living." --St. John of the Cross

"May the Blessing of Light be on you/ Light without and within/ May the blessed sunlight shine upon you/ and warm your heart/ till it glows like a great peat fire,/ so that the stranger may come/ and warm himself at it./ And my the Light shine out of the eyes of you/ like a candle set in the window of a house/ bidding the wanderer to come in out of the storm."  --An old Irish blessing

"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill
